Located   and   extreme   climatic   events   impact, especially, the   most socioeconomically susceptible populations, with higher levels of exposure and less resilience.  In order to analyze the resilience of residents of the streets most affected by extreme rainfall events in Jardim Zaíra, ABC Paulista, a   questionnaire   was   developed   based   on   behavioral   patterns   and implemented in a sample of the population. The results show the degree of socioeconomic and demographic weakness of the neighborhood residents, due to the population density, low income, deficiencies in basic sanitation, low life expectancy and lack of studies. The patterns and extremes of rainfall point to  a  decrease  in  the  annual  accumulated  rainfall  and  an  increase  in  their daily concentration, favoring extreme events. The analysis of resilience indicates the sample has medium resilience, that is, reasonable ability to face crises and adversity, with some distress, and moderate success, with strong contribution of the religious standard to greater the resilience degree.
